Well yes, but maybe it's better to think of that as data and
the number of elements are perhaps of no importance here.

I know why it doesn't work then ...
Anyhow, the so-called dotted pair notation tells us that the
universal data structure actually isn't a list, but a pair!
Only a pair is a list as well ...
In practice - here, someone maybe disagrees? - but in my
experience I don't see why that should be used ...
And I don't know why it was ever essential to the point it
even got to symbolize Lisp on a couple of occasions?
Maybe that box diagram with arrows to make up a cons cell
link-list-fragment just looked neat and interesting ...
